R2 Games, a smaller company that makes games popular on Facebook, has blatantly stolen images and content from both Valve's DoTA 2 and Riot Games' League of Legends. It came to my attention through a few friends of mine that they had found photoshopped images including a match details screen of Leagues, two characters of DoTA, and possibly many others. I know about this company already, as my mother is hopelessly addicted to their skinner box style games. Having had to 'play' some of their games already for her, I can tell you that they are definitely making money off of this. They rake in several thousand dollars a day....per some users (Which is more than you think sadly). The Pay2win aspect is strong as you have to pay to keep up with the cash whales that I mentioned earlier. From what I have seen, you can pay 100's of dollars for singular items that boost stats ingame, like outfits, pets, etc. I already hated this company, but finding this out has tipped me over the edge and makes me feel like this needs to be brought to attention, if not to remedy the issue, but to vindicate myself against her so she can get away from this money pit. I don't care if the company gets shut down. I just want them to stop making money by stealing content that doesn't belong to them. They already empty wallets worse than strippers and Steam Sales combined.

If you have any additional proof, please post it here for Riot to see. I want this shut down.

I don't know where else I should post this. This sort of thing doesn't really fall into any category.

I'm sure Riot's well aware this is happening, but this is China we're talking about. They do not give a damn about copyright laws, and there's very little we can do to police it.

Have you seen 300 Heroes?

It's shameless.

But yeah, it would be nice if Facebook could drop the ads, but that's making them money too.
